About Melissa Buse
My main hands-on experience is with cats (I had my own cat for 3 years), so I’m very confident with feeding, litter routines, play, and understanding cat body language. With dogs, while I haven’t owned one personally, I’ve spent a lot of time around friends’ dogs and I’m comfortable with friendly dogs, basic lead handling, and following your routine exactly as you prefer.
Experience
• Cats: 3 years of daily care with my own cat (feeding, playtime, litter routine, companionship)
• Dogs: Comfortable around dogs through friends’ dogs, confident handling friendly dogs and following owner routines
• My style: Calm, patient, routines first, lots of attention to comfort and safety
I can visit to feed, refresh water, clean the litter tray, play and cuddle (if your pet wants it!), and give you a quick update with photos and notes.
For walks, I keep things safe and structured, and I follow your rules on lead use, walking routes, and greetings with other dogs. I’m happy to start with shorter walks while I learn your pets routine.
I can provide in home care and manage multi pet bookings safely. With two rooms available, I can separate pets when needed (for stress free settling, feeding, or rest), and I’m happy to do individual walks and follow each pet’s routine closely, adjusting to their behaviour, mood, and energy level. My garden isn’t fully fenced, so any outdoor time at home is always supervised and on lead. I’m also only around 5 minutes from Roding Valley Lakes, which is perfect for regular, calm walks and outdoor breaks.
I don’t have a fully fenced garden, so any outdoor time at home is supervised and on lead. The good part is that Roding Valley Lakes is about a 5-minute walk from me, so pets get plenty of fresh air and proper walks/outdoor breaks in a safe, calm setting.
For everyone’s comfort and safety, I ask that pets are up to date on flea/worm treatment and that you tell me about any medical needs, separation anxiety, or lead reactivity. I only do off-lead time if you’ve confirmed reliable recall and we’ve agreed suitable locations. I’m happy to do a meet-and-greet to make sure it’s a great fit.
Please share any important details like feeding instructions, quirks, and any medical needs. For dogs, I prefer a meet and greet before the first walk, and I keep dogs on lead unless you’ve confirmed reliable recall and we’ve agreed on suitable locations.
Thank you :)
